Geen nachtrust
Pros:

Alles was hoe het hoort te zijn

Cons:

Niet kunnen slapen omdat ons licht om de 20min aansprong, om 2 uur ‘s nachts de schakelaar (motion sensor) bestudeerd, gezet hoe die van de badkamer stond (off) maar dit maakte het probleem nog erger. Om 4 uur in de ochtend maar beslist de lampen eruit te draaien…

Overall good option.
Pros:

The hotel was in a nice area, very clean. Staff was great.

Cons:

I was disappointed that my booking said 1 king and 1 queen bed but I got two queen beds instead. That bed space would have helped. Also not a big fan of having to park in the street as hotel parking was small.
